PITTSBURG WELL BACKED
.Millionaire Said to Be Behind Team
May Be H. C. Frick Mathew
eon's Decision to Play With
New York Disappointment.
CHICAGO, March 2. (Special.)
Federal League magnates, with prac
tically unlimited funds at their dis
posal, nope to lure Fielder Jones, the
famous baseball pilot, away from Port,
land. Or., and from the head of the
Northwestern .League, to manage thi
Brooklyn team in the baby organiza
tion. Fielder Jones piloted the Chi
cago White Sox to several pennants
and to one world s championship.
That Tom Seaton will twirl for the
Chicago Federal League this year:
that Hal Chase is not wanted by the
new organization at any price; that the
names of the players on the eight clubs
will be given out immediately after the
world tourists land in New York
Thursday; that work will be started
on the local park Wdnesday morning
end that Fielder Jones is wanted to
to manage the Brooklyn club; that a
big salary will be tendered Sam Craw.
lord on his return from' the world
tour, were, the statements handed out
by President Gllmore and Charles
Weegman today.
Millionaire Back Pittsburg.
Also it was anounced that a million,
aire Pittsburg man had taken over the
club in that city and would run things
from now on. Henry Frick is thought
to be the man. Further, the officials
of the new league late tonight were
awaiting an answer from Christy
Mathewson. accepting or turning down
an offer of $65,000 for a three-year
contract to manage Brooklyn.
As to Fielder Jones, President Gil
more said that R. B. Ward, the
Brooklyn owner, was ready to pay
large figure for the services of the
former White Sox manager. Jones
probably will be allowed to name his
own terms.
In the Christy Mathewson case Mr.
Gllmore said that his offer of J65.000
for a three years' contract was bona fide
and that if Matty has turned down the
contract, as reports say he has, then
the famous pitcher has cast aside the
largest offer ever made a ballplayer.
Mr. Gllmore said it was not true that
$65,000 had been offered to Joe Jack
son, of Cleveland, to join the' Federals.
Jackson is under contract and Mr.
Gilmore points out that no man who
has signed a contract for 1914 had
been approached.
Hal Chase Not Wanted.
. Speaking of Hal Chase, who had
offered to join the new league for a
$10,000 salary and $10,000 advance, Mr.
Gilmore said that he did not want the
Sox player and had telegraphed Chase
to that effect. Mr. Gilmore opined
that Chase is ncaring the age when he
will be forced to quit the game and
he also declared that it seemed that
Chase was only trying to get a bi
offer from the Federals that he might
hold up the Sox for more money.
Ground will be broken for the Chi

the shuffle made by the Federal
League managers, it was learned to
day. Catcher Owens, who had been
drafted by Washington from the Amer
ican Association and induced to Join
the Federals, and Infielder Westerzill,
drafted by the Boston Nationals from
St. Joseph, were awarded to the Buf
falo Federals. In exchange the Chi

office today after an absence of three

KESERVE CLAUSE IS NOT VALID
Legal Publication Says Rule Would
Be Kicked Out of Court".
NEW YORK, March 2. The baseball
reserve clause is not valid and would
be knocked out in court, if it ever got
there, according to an opinion given In
an article which appears in an issue of
"Law Notes," a well-known legal pub
lication. The article declares that the courts
will uphold any contract "that is fair
and valid," but that any contract that
contains a reserve clause would stand
a good chance of being kicked out of
court.
"The true reserve clause," says the
article, "was held unenforceable In
equity in the case of the Metropolitan
Exhibition Company vs. John M. Ward,
who, with his brother, is now backer of
the Brooklyn Federals, and also in the
case of the Metropolitan Exhibition
Company against Player Ewing, on the
grounds of indef Inlteness and unfair
ness or want of mutuality."
The article touches on the case of the
Philadelphia ball club against Player
Hallman, and then quotes the ruling on
that.

FIGHTER NEVER TRAINS
Though TJiey Are Making More Cash
Than Any ' fit " Business Today
Neither Worries Over What
Other Does, Being Partners.
While almost every follower of ring
dope," and particularly the writers,
have a lot of fun poking their pens at
Dan Morgan and Bat Levinsky, it is
probable that no flgnter or majiager
has more followers today than either
of these two men,
Dan Morgan always ma's famous and
again gets credit for making Bat
Levinsky.
It's been but a short time since
Morgan took hold of Bat. changed his
name from Barney Williams to the
present, and started him off on a new
tack, and the real trail to glory. ,
Mornan'n Foresight Good.
Morgan was the first to realize that
any of the good mlddleweights could
cut a patch through the ranks of the
white hopes" as wide as that of a
machine gun in a Chinese rebellion.
Levinsky still weighs but 16G pounds
at best fighting trim. He gives away
from 10 to 50 pounds in almost each
battle, yet he has never been scarred
nor seriously hurt.
He never trains, but fights two or
three times a week. Morgan recently
had him signed for six bouts jn one
week, and it was no fault of theirs
that two of them dropped out. One of
the things which makes' the duo popu
lar is that, though they are willing
enough to boost their own stock when
ecessary, they never make "excuses
or present alibis.
Neither One "Crawf lane.",
When McAllister took Levinsky in
tow, they had all the chance in the
world to spring their alibis, but not a
word except praise for McAllister. The
fact of the matter was that Levinsky
had fought the night before in Phila
delphia and the jump on the train and'
the fight itself left him in none too
good shape. Yet Morgan never said a
word about it.
The two have a curious working
agreement which would not be advis
able policy for commercial houses. Not
line of writing holds them together.
They are partners, and each day Mor
gan shells off a few bills from the roil
and gives them to Bat. The latter never
ounts them and is mighty sure thai
they are what is coming to him.
Neither does Morgan consult Levin
sky In the matter of matches.
How different - are the methods of
the others! It takes six weeks of
ight-letterlng and 100 pounds of
irst-class mail and then it amounts
to nothing more than half the time.
Incidentally that pair is making
more money than the. majority of the
there put together.

sented by a strong outfit.
At present the Columbia University
is leading the league with three vic
tories and no losses and the High
School team has two victories and no
defeats. Laymon Bonney, who was'
chosen for a forward position on the
1914 interscholastic league basketball
team, is playing goal for the High
School, and Captain Kyle, who has been
11 for several days, may be relieved by
Ingram.
All members of either school who
are in good standing in the Athletic
Association of the institution will be
admitted to the game free, providing
the official card is presented at the
gate. James Mackie, of the Multno

SCOUTS TELL OF DANGER
Boats to Run Ahead of Big Liners in
Fogr or Ice fields.
LONDON, Feb. 26. Motorboat ice
scouts form the latest scheme adopted
by Transatlantic shipping companies
as a means of circumventing ice perils
In the North Atlantic. The new Allan
liners Alsatian and Calgarlan are the
first ships to be equipped in this way.
Each of them is to carry on her next
voyage two motorboats of the size of
a lifeboat, fitted with 30-horsepower
motors, and with wireless and submar
ine signaling apparatus.
The plan is to send these ice scouts
ahead in foggy weather to report to
the liners by wireless the location of
ice and other dangers. The motorboats
will also be available for towing life
boats in the event of the abandonment
of a liner.
The Aquitania. of the Cunard Line.
is to carry four of these craft, and
other Transatlantic steamers are to
be similarly equipped.

the nlgltt. The sufferer is in constant
dread, tlje water passes sometimes with
a scalding- sensation and is very pro
fuse; again, there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.
Bladder -veakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it Is extremely annoying and
sometimes v,ry painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or
three days. This will neutralize tho
acids in the urins so it no longer Is a
source of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which then act normal
